Forums We Poke Around In

Sunday, July 16, 2006

We've decided to make a thread just to keep track of the Roses and Raspberries that we hand out. If you think someone deserves either/or, put them in the comments here, and tell us why.

For those of you who may not have encountered this yet, we hand out roses (sometimes even digital kisses!) to people who give us love and attention, or who have something to say that we feel should be rewarded publicly. (We're pretty OK with suck-ups and brown-nosers here!) I guess the raspberries are self-explanatory.Be sure to mouse over the images, we've started just adding our comments in the "alt" tags for the poster.

We'll go back through the threads in a little bit and give the lowdown so far. I'll add a spot somewhere on the sidebar to keep track of the most recent, or maybe a leaderboard (like in golf) or something. Maybe a little javascript thingy if I can find it.

I'll add a link in the sidebar too, probably in the "Permanent Post" section.

We've been discussing what to do about Dave. We'd like to award him some kisses and roses, but at the same time we don't want Mrs. Sergeant Springer taking offense and beating either him or us with a stick.

Dave's been sweet to us, and we don't want to get him in trouble.

So Dave gets a dozen WHITE roses (for friendship) and a kiss on the cheek from each of us.

That said, we both prefer the kind wrapped around a cherry. My Aunt used to get this Russian chocolate from her pizza guy. I don't remember the name of it, and I wouldn't know how to put in the cyrillic characters anyway. It was to die for, though.
